Friends, a Cafe and a Park.

Isabella and I had a delightful lunch with two of my dear friends- Andy and Tracey at a cafe in Clifton Hill called "Mixed Business". I have come to the conclusion that to make a typical Melbourne cafe you just need to put it in an obscure setting, have arty looking wait staff, and whimsical art pieces and decorations and thrown in some organic food. Which I love!
After lunch Tracey and I went with Isabella to play in the nearby park, it was so relaxing to enjoy the last dregs of winter sunshine.

Getting Ready to Move Interstate.

Wow, we have made the huge decision to move from Melbourne to Sydney to be close to my family. This is massive because I love Melbourne so much, but the draw card of my sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews, aunty and mother is too strong. 
We are moving in October, so there is so much to organise- we need to apply for apartments online and organise getting our stuff moved up.
This time I am determined to find lots of things I love about Sydney ( I have tried living there a few times in the past, but always ran back to Hobart or Melbourne).
I do have feelings of excitement about having this new adventure with my husband and baby, as this time it will be a very different experience living there. And it feels like the right choice.
We will look forward greatly to our holidays down to Melbourne every year:)

Isabella Rose

Sixteen days ago I gave birth to my first baby- a tiny girl who we named Isabella Rose. I didn't know if I would ever see this day as I had had many health problems for years and was now 33.
